love-you
I love you, I'll never stop.
love pieces wanted
She wanted him to see all of her and also none of her. She wanted him to be dazzled by the bits and blinded by the whole. She wanted him to see her whole and not in pieces. She had hopes that were hard to satisfy.
crush girly weakness
she never showed girly weaknesses like cellulite or crushes. she never lingered on injustices committed against her.
mother daughter judging
Please don't judge me too much until you are older and know more things. (Spoken from mother to daughter)
self dieting wonder
Polly was pretty good at dieting, all right, but she was beginning to wonder whether you ever lost the parts of your self that you wanted to lose.
summer girl moving
The rules took a while to sort out. Lena and Carmen wanted to focus on friendship-type rules, stuff about keeping in touch with one another over the summer, and making sure the Pants kept moving from one girl to the next. Tibby preferred to focus on random things you could and couldn't do in the Pants --- like picking your nose.
bridges people fake
Lena was an introvert. She knew she had trouble connecting with people. She always felt like her looks were fake bait, seeming to offer a bridge to people, which she couldn't easily cross.
people lost-everything bees
She was sad about what happened to Kostos. And someplace under that, she was sad that people like Bee and Kostos, who had lost everything, were still open to love, and she, who'd lost nothing, was not.
love-you people mad
Maybe, sometimes, it's easier to be mad at the people you trust because you know they'll always love you, no matter what.
thinking hands feet
Riley was quiet for a minute. She gathered her blanket all around her. "Paul always loved you, Alice. He knows I know that. I know he loves me, too. But it's different." Alice opened her mouth, but nothing came out at first. "He loved me once. But I think that part is over," she said slowly. "No, it's not. It hasn't even begun." Riley took Alice's bare foot in her hand and squeezed it. "I told him, though, that he better be good to you. When you came along, I said I'd share you, but I told him to remember that you're my sister. I loved you first."
children giving married
His distress and pleasure mixed and married, giving birth to several anxious children.
hurt hate world
How sad it was, Carmen thought, that you acted awful when you were desperately sad and hurt and wanted to be loved. How tragic then, the way everyone avoided you and tiptoed around you when you really needed them. Carmen knew this vicious predicament as well as anyone in the world. How bitter it felt when you acted badly to everyone and ended up hating yourself the most.
brave fearful chosen
She hadn't chosen the brave life. She'd chosen the small, fearful one.
together grenade right-now
She was supposed to be putting her life together right now, and all she could seem to do was throw grenades at it.
